Hello All,
I recently jumped to symmetrical gig fiber and am having issues with my guest vm’s getting very subpar network performance.
My setup is
pfsense router running latest version (whitebox)
6600K, 16GB RAM, Intel 82576 NIC.
vmware host running 7.0
Xeon D-1541, 64GB ram, Intel x552 and 82599 NIC’s connected with 10GbE SFP+ adapters.
I have my ONT connected to the pfsense box, the ATT router on another port and then an unmanaged gigabit switch connected to disperse the LAN side. Two connections go to my VMware host and are both configured as an uplink.
If I connect my laptop to the switch directly I am able to get Speedtests around 800+ both up and down. From a Windows based VM I am seeing 300/20. Linux based I see 300/300.
I’ve replicated the network performance issue in Proxmox so I don't think it's hypervisor related,l making me think I have a hardware problem, or just poor configuration.
Any thoughts on how I can further troubleshoot this?
Thanks
